YESTERDAY WENT TO THIMBLES, MY LOCAL QUILT STORE AND BOUGHT FABRIC FOR THE PATTERN I AM USING FOR NIECE'S QUILT. THE PATTERN IS BY FIG TREE (I JUST LOVE FIG TREE PATTERNS AND FABRICS)! MY NIECE TOLD ME SHE WANTED BROWNS AND CREAMS, BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT SHE IS HAVING AND THE PATTERN IN THE ROOM ARE CIRCLES. SO...I FOUND THIS PATTERN BY FIG TREE. I HOPE SHE WILL LIKE IT. THE THREE CREAM WAY IN THE BACKGROUND ARE FOR THE BLOCK SETTINGS. I DIDN'T WANT TO ADD BLUE/PINK SO I WENT WITH A RICH RUST AND AQUA, A LITTLE GREEN TOO! EVERYONE AT THE QUILT STORE THOUGHT THE COMBO WAS GOOD, SO AM GOING WITH IT.

SO TODAY, SATURDAY, I AM WASHING ALL THE BROWN LIKE FABRIC, SO IT WON'T RUN WHEN SHE WASHES IT AND THEN WILL START THE PROCESS OF CUTTING!! THIS QUILT HAS TO BE DONE BY JAN 29TH, SO WILL POST PROBABLY DAILY ON IT'S PROGRESSION!

WISH ME LUCK AND SAY A PRAYER!!

HUGS,

MARY
